Repp (Yagodnaya Polyana)
Johann [Georg] Repp, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Reders.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Yagodnaya Polyana on 16 September 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 7 along with his new wife Anna Dorothea and new-born daughter Katharina Maria (age 1-month).
Adam Repp from Yagodnaya Polyana and his family are recorded on the 1857 census of Neu-Yagodnaya-Polyana.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Repp came from the German region of Darmstadt while the 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Schotten.
